The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 233 - 237: The Haunted Old House (Part 6)

"Incredible, utterly incredible – this kind of biological weapon can actually cause harm to spiritual bodies, and the damage is not slight either."

"I had people test it: your average little ghost only needs one shot to turn to ashes and vanish. For something like an Evil Ghost clad in Red Clothes, at most three shots can severely wound the opponent. More importantly, the cost is pretty low – even ordinary police officers could have one in hand."

An old man dressed in the distinctive lab garb of a researcher danced around with a mad scientist’s zeal, chattering non-stop to a commanding leader, "Then there’s this other kind – after adding this substance, when crafted into a specific compass, it can not only detect the presence of special magnetic fields, but also prevent the enemy from becoming invisible."

"This person is truly a genius among geniuses. Such a wild imagination... all highly effective against those special entities."

"Put it into use immediately."

"Yes, received."

In recent years, cases of bizarre deaths had been on the rise, more ghosts revealing themselves before humans, wantonly committing slaughter and mischief. Yet they, the ordinary people, were utterly helpless.

There was a Taoist Association, but the members were all so arrogant. Asking for their involvement depended on their whims – they were extremely undisciplined and blatantly refused to be managed.

Their leaders were no less troubled, hair turned white with worry.

Now, though, such problems would be swiftly resolved.

Su Li, who had completely changed the current stalemate, had now caught the attention of the big shots.

Su Qiang had braced himself for the worst and was tallying the remainder of his personal assets. He wasn’t surprised when his secretary hurried into his office, as though he had already resigned himself to fate, "How bad has the situation gotten this time?"

The secretary’s face was alight with joy, "It hasn’t gotten worse, our company’s stock has actually gone up, and that group that had been sniping us has vanished."

Su Qiang was stunned – his daughter had actually been right.

On the Su Family side, the previous gloom was swept away; whereas the atmosphere was not so harmonious on the Gu Family side.

Gu Shi stood before Mr. Gu, puzzled, "Dad, why?"

Mr. Gu’s frown, a permanent fixture, and his austere demeanor intimidated anyone who looked upon him.

But of course, that didn’t include Gu Shi.

As the beloved late-born son of Mr. Gu, the favor he received was incomparable to others.

The resources expended on Gu Shi from his birth could not be merely quantified by numbers.

Gu Shi was well aware of Mr. Gu’s profound paternal love, which made him even more baffled as to why his father would halt the moves against the Su Family.

"The higher-ups have warned me; neither Su Li nor the Su Family can be touched right now. I’ve already sent people covertly to investigate what the other party did to catch the eye of those at the very top."

Gu Shi expressed astonishment, "Are we talking about a minor family with such capabilities?"

He wasn’t questioning his father’s words, simply voicing his own surprise.

Families like the Su Family were a dime a dozen in Shangjing.

"Regardless, don’t provoke them for now to avoid unnecessary trouble."

Thinking of his son’s health, Mr. Gu’s brow furrowed even deeper, "I’ll have someone seek out other methods."

"Here, take this strand of Buddha Beads with you. They contain a Shariputra left by a high-ranking monk from the temple. I’ve paid a great price for them; they can confine the Evil Qi of your body within a certain radius around you. As long as they don’t come close, you won’t be found by malevolent spirits."

Gu Shi: "Thank you, Dad."

"You may go now," uttered Mr. Gu, waving a weary hand.

By acquiring these Buddha Beads, Mr. Gu had expended too many familial resources, and other senior family members had long been resentful.

He found it increasingly difficult to suppress them.

After putting on the Buddha Beads that Mr. Gu had given him, Gu Shi could immediately feel the sense of being watched dissipate significantly. freewёbnoνel.com

Truly a Holy Object of Buddhism, its effects were immediate.

Yet while external influences were reduced, the Evil Qi wreaking havoc inside his body was still unbearable, despite being confined.

He would have to seek out other methods.

Despite his reluctance, Gu Shi didn’t dare contravene what his father had said.

His resentment towards Su Li grew each day, and the devotion she had given him over ten years dissolved into nothingness in his heart.

But Su Li didn’t care about what Gu Shi thought; she was currently being covertly invited to join a newly formed special department, acting as an external consultant.

The department moved with incredible efficiency. Newly established, each member was equipped with gear specifically designed to combat ghostly entities, and Su Li, who had developed this biotechnology, was warmly welcomed by the team.

Only someone who had researched such objects could be so knowledgeable about these spectral beings.

Despite Su Li’s youth, she received a warm welcome from comrades spanning various age groups.

Su Li didn’t turn down the state’s offer. Sometimes individual power is limited; to fulfill certain desires quickly, leveraging the nation’s strength was much more convenient and efficient.

Su Li’s swift appointment brought even more opportunities for the Su Family.

Although not too evident on the surface, numerous policy skews had indeed driven the Su Group’s development further upwards.

Su Qiang, in his middle age, was all in. He didn’t want to endure being under someone else’s thumb again.

For his daughter, for his family, he was filled with newfound ambition.

By casually sharing a few insights, Su Li helped the members of the Special Action Group significantly.

In carrying out their missions, they handled the encounters with the Evil Ghosts with ease.

Su Li wasn’t entirely selfless, though. If this team rapidly gained experience, it would be crucial for her upcoming plans.

Everything was going smoothly for Su Li, her life was well-ordered, but Gu Shi was having a harder time.

Without Su Li, his personal suppressor, and despite the substitute of the Buddha relic, his body was still tortured by the incessant leakage of Evil Qi.

He hadn’t felt this before because the original owner had borne it for him. Now feeling it for himself, he understood the torment.

Yet Gu Shi couldn’t have imagined that the person who always smiled at him like a blooming Ru Hua, behind his back bore a great deal of pain.

However, Gu Shi felt no sympathy; rather, he was angry at Su Li for not continuing to serve him. His discomfort only deepened his resentment towards her.

This wretched mood persisted for some time, but lately, Gu Shi had begun to feel happy again.

He had met an exceptionally cute girl.
